Number assignments are weird for the buses but then again it’s expected since it changes for every new bus order they get 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted February 28 Share #38630 Posted February 28 1552 is on the Qm20 Super Express, going to guess that the MCI’s are breaking down more than usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they're short on buses in general. They've been borrowing both MCI and Prevost units from LaGuardia as of late. It's no different than what's been happening with CP taking Xcelsiors and Orions from LaGuardia on loan.

Lawrence St Posted March 1 Share #38632 Posted March 1 Has anyone been on an express bus that’s not on bus time and the interior info screens don’t show the route or make announcements? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, if the bus goes off-route, then the bus doesn't appear on bus time. I think the express buses have the screens set up to after the last pick-up stop, they go blank or just play ads until they reach the first drop-off in Manhattan. I've had a guy that would toggle his destination sign to "MTA Bus" or "Not In Service" after last pick-up stop for whatever reason then proceed to kick us off at 6th Av/36th St because he was lazy. Or the bus sometimes just has a broken tracker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit Enthusiast Posted March 2 Share #38634 Posted March 2 #4162 is the worst NG I have ever rode. Every time it started moving, it was shaking and rattling, not to mention it's powertrain sounded awful. I feel like it will be the next bus to retire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few random Orion VII Next Gens running around that have the cloth seating on a few of the seats, I couldn’t tell you which numbers. Outside of express buses all the local fleets from 2011 and on were delivered with the hard seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you have BOs not updating the signage for the right destination so sometimes you’d have Q25 saying LIRR station instead going to flushing or visé versa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same person a month later when service cuts because of no fare: "Screw the and your $2.90!" and it goes on, and on, and on... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
